I am attempting to create my *first* external table with

create table tbl_ext external file '/data/fb/tbl_ext.txt'
(c1 char(10))

but get

"Access to external file "/data/fb/tbl_ext.txt" is denied by server
administrator."

This can't be a simple OS file permissions problem because this directory is
"wide open".

TIA for any help,
